The Interview

Today is the day… we are going to prove that Julia and Rebekah are twins!

Are you excited! I sure am!!! I interviewed both Julia and Rebekah with the same questions… so let’s see how similar the answers are. If I comment on their answers, I will write in this color.

What are some goals for your new writing blog?

Julia: First of all, I want to glorify God through whatever I do – including my blog! I also want to use it to share my passion for writing (and the writing itself!) and encourage others by it!

Rebekah: I’d like to be consistent in posting at least once a week (I stick to a pretty consistent schedule for my toy blog, but I’ve never been too consistent in personal blogging). Another one of my goals is to improve my writing in general — developing a blogging voice, writing more poetry and short stories, becoming better equipped in writing skills, and maybe I’ll even start a novel of my own and post updates! As always, I one of my main long-term goals is for my posts to be nice and professional and interesting, and for my design to be pretty. 😉 I don’t have many goals for followers, but it would be awesome if I could expand my audience. However, my main goal is really to glorify God in whatever I do, and my new writing blog is no exception.

Both of them want to glorify God in whatever they do- great!

Julia: First of all, I want to glorify God through whatever I do – including my blog!

Rebekah: However, my main goal is really to glorify God in whatever I do, and my new writing blog is no exception.

They both phrased it the same way too, so according to the first question, Julia and Rebekah are twins!

What are some interesting facts about yourself?

Julia: Ahhh… this should be fun. Let’s see… I’m half Filipino, and that’s a great starting point for one of the stories I’m writing. I also love rollerblading, and that’s why I was able to ace figure skating on my first try. XD I’m currently on a no-gluten, no-sugar, no-starch, no-dairy, no-eggs diet. XD And I love Larabars because of it!

Rebekah:

*rubs hands together evilly* Ooh, here we go!

– I’m the youngest child.

– I like to code.

– My favorite day of the week is Saturday because I get to go to a music and art academy for pretty much the entire day.

– I don’t have many friends, but the ones I do have are really close. (I prefer a few close friends to many pseudo-friends.)

– I’m overly sensitive.

– Who else likes watching those really short, sped-up cooking tutorials?!

– I’m always a multitasker, sometimes a procrastinator, and seldom productive.

– I participate in the National Bible Bee!

– I like making miniature food out of salt dough clay.

– Someday I’d like to compose hymns.

Oh, well the question was broad… so. But sadly, both of them are not the youngest child or half Filipino (as far as we know… XD!) Minus one twin point. 😞

How did you first get into writing?

Julia: I think I first starting writing in first grade, when I begged my mom to trade out some of the boring journal entry assignments in spelling for story writing. That was fun. I think I might still even have those! I started writing my first book when I was eight but abandoned it after eleven pages. XD The first long piece that I ever finished was when I was ten – a 50-something page book!

Rebekah: Well, the first story I ever remember writing was an *extremely well-written* (note the sarcasm), scribbled, one-pager that I set onto paper when I was bored during church at about the age of three. It was about a hog who met a frog who met a three-year-old “people.”

Both of them got into writing, but not at the exact same time. This won’t add or subtract any twin points.

How would you describe your writing style?

Julia: Well.. hmm.. this is rather tricky. I prefer writing in first person, past tense, and I love fantasy or historical medieval fiction. Those are probably my favorite things to write. I’m a little overly-descriptive, I’ve been told, so I’m trying to refrain from going into detail on things!

Rebekah: I do a lot of describing; I’m definitely not concise. I have a lot of dialogue in my stories, I tend to write in first person, and yeah.

This one definitely adds a twin point- yay! Both of them prefer writing in first person and describe a lot.

What are some tips for beginning writers?

Julia: Don’t give up. Never, ever give up. It’s so, so, so easy to just let go of your dreams and watch them float away. Don’t do it. Don’t give up. Just persevere and keep writing!

Rebekah: I’m definitely not a professional or anything, but…well, first of all, good grammar/punctuation/spelling are pretty important! You don’t have to be a pro or anything (I certainly am not), but avoiding five-year-old grammar mistakes tends to be easy and definitely adds to whatever you’re writing. 🙂 Some other tips are to use descriptive words in place of boring ones and to have someone to hold you accountable.

And lastly? Just write. No matter how bad you think it is, KEEP WRITING.

Yay! Another twin point for sure. They both said to keep writing!
